Only Ewen kept going on Thursday night when it poured with rain during the 3k/5k, so fluked a win. Or to put it another way, ran last and caused the officials to get wet. But we have tough officials - see note at end of post.

All credit to the other runners Kevin, Geoff S, and Garry, who all ran quicker than I. We took 19 seconds off the Australian record that day.

Only the Lonely
A new training session at Stromlo Forest Park got going this morning. Yes 'twas only I at Stromlo running intervals. I don't mind - it means I am one hard session ahead of everyone else. And I was picturing those M60 championship races planned for 2009, hoping my rivals in those races were slacking off too.

When the going gets tough

... Kelley and her war wounds. But what is going on behind her?
Note - Kelley was the official who Ewen caused to get wet on Thursday night. But Kelley is used to that, if you remember her three dives into the water at Vanity's Crossing during the Bulls Head relay leg.

I did not mind at all being wet. I totally enjoyed watching and time keeping all you great runners on the track. Ewen did so well it is hard to keep focus when you are the only one left running, I admire you so much Ewen well done!
